The day began with news that the Check Engine light in one of our cars knew what it was talking about. The car may need a new engine, it will be in the shop for quite some time and warranty coverage is unclear. My 21-year-old granddaughter, who drives the car, was upset to learn that the dealer would not give her a loaner. The good news, if COVID has a bright side: her classes are mostly virtual and she works mostly from home. And she lives on the bus line.
Then Tropical Storm Beta strengthened into a hurricane headed toward New Orleans.
My one and only photo of the day was of this guy, a stink bug, I think. (I prefer the name pumpkin bug.) Our cat Evander scared him away before I could get a better shot.
After a lackluster dinner, my husband said, "What you need is a glass of wine." I already had one.
I have never seen a better or more clear photo of a stink bug them this one! That being said the rest of your day was junk! I certainly hope you had that second glass of wine!
Oh, the dreaded Check Engine light! So sorry. Mercury goes retrograde on the 16th, I think, which is making me nervous this year. It ends on Nov 3, election day. Let's hope that's a good sign.
Your day reminds me of a Mary Chapin Carpenter song- Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Boy do I understand about being without a car for a long period of time- it's not easy!! At least you have some arrangements to balance that out- I was just without a car since there are no bus lines here. I hope the day has gotten better and that you will avoid the storm. Wishing you many stink-bug free days ahead!
